For culinary connoisseurs, Gordon Ramsay is a name to remember. From being a star in different cooking shows like Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef US, and Hell’s Kitchen, he really made a name for himself. And we’re not just talking about his frankness when roasting his chefs on his shows. We’re talking about a multi-Michelin starred chef with a string of successful restaurants around the world.

We took the opportunity to visit one of his restaurants in the UK, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea (also known as Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road) to taste the luxury of this three-Michelin star London restaurant and experience the food everyone’s talking about.

The Venue and Ambience

Right from outside Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, you would already get a cozy vibe from the place. Simplicity oozes out from its white walls on the ground floor and brick walls on the upper floors. Inside, the contemporary design dominates the whole place, from the beige walls and ceiling to the classically designed tables and bar as well as the subtle lighting.

The interior contributes to the serene atmosphere of the place. Not too flashy, if you ask me, but it still brings out the classiness a three Michelin star fine dining restaurant should have.

Right off the bat, after sitting us down at the table for lunch, the staff was considerate enough to ask us about our food intolerances and allergies. Thankfully, we don’t have any. Everyone who assisted us was very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, which was evident by how they tended to our needs.

This London restaurant entertains customers based on reservations. They also have a private dining option and allow renting a room for events and special occasions. You also wouldn’t have any trouble paying the bill since they accept different payment options such as AmEx and Mastercard.

As for what you should wear if you plan to go here, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay requires a smart dress code. Jeans, T-shirts, and sportswear are not allowed in the venue.

However, one thing that took my attention was how you could quite hear the small chatters from people at the other tables. This minor detail was, in my opinion, well-compensated by the rest of the experience.

The Food and Drinks

The food and drinks are really what every clientele raves about in this London restaurant, so we can’t wait to serve their signature dishes. They offer French cuisine with a carefully considered mix of flavors creatively crafted to accentuate their dishes. The menu has both a la carte and set lunch options. They also have vegan and vegetarian-friendly sets.

We, of course, made sure to try their classic lobster ravioli, and it was utterly enjoyable. Each food presentation was exquisite and stylish, much like an intricate artwork, from the appetizers to the dessert.

Their steaks were made to perfection, just according to how well or rare we wanted them to be. I particularly noticed the complexity of their sauces that bring a nice twist to the food. It was also evident how fresh their ingredients were. For dessert, we had the raspberry souffle.

Like every fine dining restaurant, you have to savor each spoonful of their divine food because of the portions. I wouldn’t be able to stress out enough how each bite has its flavorful surprise and delight. We really had a fantastic lunch.

Of course, our dining experience wouldn’t be complete without their cocktails. We tried a simple red wine suggested by their staff to complement our food. We were glad we didn’t miss out on this opportunity despite the drinks being a little expensive. Their staff will do their best to find a drink perfect for your taste.

The food was a delight with every bite. We can say that everything was worth every penny we spent. However, for the price of the experience, it might be more perfect for special occasions and celebrations.

Summary

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay really cracked the formula for a first-class London restaurant, which justified their worth of three Michelin Stars awarded to them back in 2001.

If you crave a memorable experience, superb food, premium staff service, and great overall ambience, you should definitely try out this branch. Tourists and locals both have put this place in their bucket lists, and we’re glad to have crossed it in ours. If you plan to visit this restaurant, you can call them for reservations or make an online reservation through their website. You can check out their full menu there, too.
